SGT. Robert Edward Thompstone. Born, Guelph, Ont., March 14, 1916. Schools: England, Guelph High School. Tim arrived at the College with the rest of us and soon gained his nickname of "Click- Click." However, in the succeeding years, we were to find that it was totally undeserved. Al- though born in Guelph, Click spent his tender years in India and England. In his recruit year he was able to gain crossed clubs as a token of his prowess in the gym. In the past four years he has fought for the glory of "C" Coy. in all of the inter-company sports. He spent three very successful years Kas he will certifyj at Camp Borden with the Signals. In his second class year he was chiefly occupied with the Fri- gate and running errands as junior manager of the basketball team. This year he still runs the Frigate and he did a line job of managing the basketball team. Click hopes to enter the R.C.E. this year and he will carry the best wishes of the class with him. J. A. M.
